Re: Version identifier

Makes sense to me. We'd need to clearly spell out what the 'version'
attribute value contains in all cases. It'd be nice to be able
to distinguish between these two cases.
- no cache association
- a cache is associated, but with no version setting in the manifest file
Maybe undefined vs null?
